PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alex Trujillo (ranked 3227 p4p, 4070 weight class) and Kaden Stephens (ranked 398 p4p, 465 weight class). Trujillo's entrance music is Wu-Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck. A fine choice. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Kaden Stephens was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
